There was a point when suggestions were made by unofficial people but people with attachment to the rulers that the US might have to invade and occupy Israel to ensure fairness in the region. I. for one, assumed these were serious suggestions, feelers as it ere, from the party in power.
That statement is not as far-fetched as it might seem. Going back to period after 1912 (when the last two states in the continental U.S. joined the Union), and certainly after Hawaii was added in 1950, there’s a legitimate question to be asked about why the U.S. has engaged in nearly constant military campaigns in far-flung corners of the globe without ever adding a 51st state to the Union. Not that Israel could ever function as a U.S. state in any practical sense, but what exactly does the U.S. get in return for these massive expenditures in places that have little or no value in terms of resources, strategic military value, etc.?
